I don't understand Morrowind scripting enough to decipher this one:
Bug #3671: Incorrect local variable value after picking up bittercup

I'm not sure exactly about the fixes that were involved, but the problem was that selections made in message boxes were getting mixed up with those of the Bitter Cup artifact. When you activate the Bitter Cup when its an object out in the game world, a message box appears with a choice to either pick it up or leave it where it is. But the if you then had another message box with a choice of answers to pick, your answer then would apply to the Bitter Cup script again. The bug reporter explained how this would cause you to get a duplicate, because the script thought you had selected "Pick it up" again when you were actually answering a different message box.

Anyway I think the typical way you would probably see this in a game's patch notes is something like "Fixed problem with duplicate Bitter Cup artifacts appearing"

Thanks Allofic, and yea exactly wareya. I know we are a volunteer project so I do my best to put in effort to fill in the gaps as best I can with our bug tracker, but if anyone is ever interested in learning how QA is done in the industry I would be happy to post a write-up...

From what I can tell we have an outstanding issue with the Windows RC file paths on the wizard?viewtopic.php?p=46840#p46840
(Or was this a user issue? No offense, I just did not follow the thread well...)

To be fair, the installer did not do this correctly to begin with. I had to manually fix the config file before it worked and detected my data file directory. I doubt this would be a problem on a subsequent install, but it was the first time I've attempted to use OpenMW and the config was not correctly setup despite running the wizard multiple times.
